The Marlin M24 was an improved version of the M21. They were made between 1908 aand 1915. They were made in 5 grades. The basic field gun was Grade G. The other grades were A,B,C & D with the Grade D being the highest. These guns come under Marlin's 1998 Service Bulletin and should not be fired. Many have failed with deadly results. Because they are purely wall hangers, the value is very low.

A Grade G M24 in good condition would be worth less than $100 and would be pretty hard to move. However, collectors may pay over $1000 for a Grade D in mint condition. There is little interest from collectors for a M24 in the lower grades or for a gun that is not in exellent condition.
